Great Dane and Pit Bull Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Lafayette, California

Meet Harley — your long-legged, big-personality best friend in the making 🤍🐾

Harley’s story started tough, coming from a homeless encampment in Fresno before landing in the shelter, but you’d never know it from her joyful, wiggly spirit. At just 3.5 months old and already about 22 pounds, this leggy girl is growing fast! We expect she’ll land somewhere in the 50–80 pound range full grown, with those adorable lanky legs and floppy ears making her impossible to miss.

Harley is bursting with personality — playful, curious, and full of life. She’s still very much a baby (think: goofy, clumsy, learning everything for the first time), so she’s looking for a family ready to guide her with patience, consistency, and love. She’s currently working on house and crate training and will thrive with structure and continued training.

Her ideal home? An active household that’s ready for puppy energy and all the fun that comes with it. A yard would be amazing for those long legs to stretch out, and a friendly resident dog would be a huge bonus to help show her the ropes and keep her entertained.

We’re guessing she may be a Pitbull/Dane mix, but what we know for sure is she’s 100% lovable, 100% potential, and 100% ready for her fresh start.

Harley didn’t get to choose where she came from — but you can choose to be her future.
